## Description

AccessLens is a free, fully functional WordPress client for the AccessLens accessibility
service. You enter
 the URLs you want to audit, the external service renders each
page in a real browser and runs an accessibility analysis (axe-core), and the plugin
shows the results in your admin dashboard. It is aimed at site owners and agencies
who need to work towards the requirements of the European Accessibility Act (EAA).

The plugin itself is not feature-limited: it sends your requests to the external
service and displays whatever
 the service returns. Advanced, server-side analysis
tiers (full-site crawl and an AI-assisted PDF report) are provided by a paid subscription
to the AccessLens service, not by locked code inside this plugin.

**What this plugin does:**

 * Runs accessibility scans on any public URL (single page, sitemap or full crawl
   mode).
 * Shows WCAG 2.2 violations per page, classified by severity (critical, serious,
   moderate, minor).
 * Includes a short, informational questionnaire about whether your organisation
   falls under the EAA.
 * Requests an Accessibility Statement report from the service and lets you download
   it as PDF.

**What this plugin does NOT do:**

 * It does not guarantee or certify conformance with the EAA, WCAG or any other 
   regulation.
 * It does not detect 100% of issues: automated scanning covers roughly 25-40% of
   the criteria. Manual review
    by an expert remains essential.
 * It does not provide legal advice.

The scope questionnaire is purely informational. Always consult a qualified accessibility
or legal advisor
 for your specific situation.

**Requirements:**

 * Access to an EAA Engine instance over HTTP (a default public engine is provided;
   you can point to your own).
 * PHP 8.0 or higher.
 * WordPress 6.0 or higher.

### External services

This plugin relies on an external service (the “AccessLens engine”) to perform the
accessibility analysis,
 because scanning requires rendering the page in a headless
browser, which cannot run inside WordPress.

**Service: AccessLens engine**

 * What it is: an audit engine that renders the given URL and runs an accessibility
   analysis (axe-core) to
    detect WCAG violations.
 * When it is used: only when an administrator starts a scan or generates a report
   from the dashboard.
 * Data sent: the URL(s) you choose to audit and, when generating a report, the 
   site metadata you enter in the
    form (site name, contact email/URL, entity type).
 * Default endpoint: https://eaa-audit-engine-26367529082.europe-southwest1.run.
   app (configurable in Settings;
    you may point to your own engine instance).
 * Terms of service: https://accesslens-27h.pages.dev/terminos
 * Privacy policy: https://accesslens-27h.pages.dev/privacidad

**AI processing (Pro service tier)**

On the Pro service tier, the engine may send fragments of the page HTML and image
URLs to the AI provider
 Anthropic (https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy) to 
generate alternative text and improvement suggestions. This only happens with an
active Pro subscription and when you request a report.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `accesslens` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. Activate the plugin from the “Plugins” menu in WordPress.
 3. Go to **AccessLens > Settings** and configure your audit engine URL (a default 
    is provided).
 4. Open **AccessLens > Dashboard** to run your first audit.

## FAQ

### Does the scan certify that my website complies with the EAA?

No. Automated scanning detects a subset of technical violations (about 25-40%). 
A conformance declaration
 requires a full manual audit carried out by people with
disabilities or certified experts.

### What is the EAA Directive?

The European Accessibility Act (EAA, Directive 2019/882) requires certain digital
products and services to be
 accessible. Member States have been applying it since
28 June 2025.

### Does it work with any website?

The plugin can audit any public URL reachable from the server where the engine is
hosted.

### What is the difference between Free and Pro?

These are tiers of the external AccessLens service, not locked code in the plugin.
The free service tier
 covers single-page and sitemap scans (up to 10 pages) and
a basic report. The Pro service subscription adds full-site crawl (up to 25 pages)
and an AI-assisted PDF report with alternative-text and improvement suggestions.
The plugin works fully on the free tier and shows whatever the service returns.
